Using a combination of Kawashima- and Goodman-type energy estimates, we establish spectral stability of general small-amplitude relaxation shocks of symmetric dissipative systems. This extends previous results obtained by Plaza and Zumbrun [8] by singular perturbation techniques under an additional technical assumption, namely, that the background equation be noncharacteristic with respect to the shock.

In this paper we introduce a simulation algorithm based on fluid dynamic models to reproduce the behavior of traffic in a portion of the urban network in Rome. Numerical results, obtained comparing experimental data with numerical solutions, show the effectiveness of our approximation. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
